Mercury Falling Questions of the Week

Data compiled from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2003 Toxic Release Inventory ranks Duval County first in the state for mercury emissions, and the St. Johns River Power Park and the Northside Generating Station alone were the source of 599 pounds of the emissions, accounting for 20 percent of the state total. What do we have such a large share of the state's mercury emissions?

What technologies exist right now that would help lower these emissions? Can we lower mercury emissions by buying different coal?

This is open source advocacy folks, post your findings here.
